Witch's Egg Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

When I turned 12 papa said 

Little woman better get yourself a wife 

'Cause youre too mean for a man to clean up your life 

And if shes the devil, you know shell be your friend. 

When I turned 13 I spat in my papas eye 

Took off to find my man 'cause I couldnt find a wife 

And I spread-eagled in a lot of towns 

I couldnt find no man to lay me down 

They were so busy a-cock-a-doodle-doo-in 

But they still couldnt nail me down 

So I grew up lonesome knowing thered be no man 

Or woman to get me going through this life 

'Cause I was hatched out of a witchs egg 

Been doomed to fly high 

Like a crane with no legs 

I laid down with the devil and his side-kick mankind 

But something called lovin made me hungry inside 

So I went to the lord and I asked him for more 

Than what this world could offer 

I laid down with him and I had to grin 

'Cause he was shyer than a flower 

Now thanks to the lord Ive been set free 

My lover is the trade winds that take me out to sea 

My life is like nobody elses 

Theres only one of me 

'Cause I was hatched out of a witchs egg 

Been doomed to fly high 

Like a crane with no legs.
